<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 7505585, member: 102103&quot;]A chop mark tells people in a relatively small community that this assayer has vouched for the weight/fineness of the coin.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think it carries much authority outside of people who would know of the chop mark stamper personally and could take ease knowing that he had vouched for the coin.&nbsp; As the coin circulated around different parts of a country (or other countries even), it could acquire new chop marks for each part of its journey.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
